See the People: Achieving a Better World One Life at a Time

by Bob and Vicki Fox

Ft. Worth, Texas – August 21, 2026.  Authors Bob and Vicki Fox announce the publication of Vea a Las Personas, the Spanish version of their book, See the People: Achieving a Better World One Life at a Time.

The Spanish version is in response to the growing need for Christian resources for Spanish-speaking Christians and those seeking to learn about Christianity.

The Fox’s book aims at helping Christians reach out to people all over the world from other religions, as well as those of other faiths living in the United States.

The retired international oil industry executive had decades of experience working around the world, and he learned about the religions of people in the countries where he did business. In his position, he travelled to dozens of countries, including most of the oil-rich Middle East countries, and experienced the culture and religions of people throughout Asia, Russia, and the United Kingdom as well as in Brazil and Columbia in South America.         . 

An experience with the Lord when he was in his backyard at home in Texas demonstrated that to Bob when the Lord instructed him to “See the people everywhere you go and wherever you are! All of them have needs and I want to meet those needs.”

He was sent to Saudi Arabia for the first time not too long after 9/11. As an American, and a Christian, arriving in a 100 percent Muslim country in those tense days, he was talking to God while waiting in an airport line. He was mostly expressing thoughts about people who tended to hate God’s people, when he heard God’s whisper.

“These are the people that I love and that I died for.” 

Just like that, he says, he started seeing them like Jesus did—with a heart of compassion.

“It is amazing how the Lord can make one comment and reset your entire perspective. Not a lot of words are needed,” he said.

“Whether Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Shintoists, Jews, or part of any other religion, they are loved by God and Jesus died for them,” Bob reminds us.

In the book, the Foxes outline seven steps to reach out to people from other religions, as well as to Americans, and to engage the Holy Spirit to help your message soften the hearts of those to whom you are witnessing.

In addition, his co-author and wife, Vicki Fox, writes a section in each chapter on prayer, as well as offering template and sample prayers in an appendix. He also teaches about the five main religions in the world today: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Shintoism, plus Judaism, as well discussing witnessing to those of other faiths.

Foxes wanted to get their book translated into Spanish to serve the growing number of Hispanic churches in the United States. 

According to Religion News Service, a recent study reports on this trend with an increasing number of Hispanic Protestant churches, noting a significant percentage of younger members and predominantly including those new to the United States.

The study, was conducted by Lifeway Recursos, the Hispanic division of Lifeway Research, along with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, supports the need for more Christian resources in Spanish as the number of Hispanic congregations continues to grow. More than half the churches have been started just since the year 2000.

The Christian publishing industry is aware of this growth and need. During retailer training sessions recently at the Christian Product Expo in August 2026, a training session regarding the Hispanic market explained the needs of Hispanic Christians and encouraged retailers to stock more titles in Spanish to serve this market.

And since 2018, the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) has been reporting on the Top Spanish books and Bibles in its ECPA Best Sellers lists.

Bob recounts his experiences of seeing God working in him and through him to reach people with the Gospel all over the world.

On that first trip to Saudi Arabia he writes, “I realized I was in this place on this business trip because the Lord wanted someone to pray for the people from inside the country. I got on my knees. Businesspeople can get into places where ministers cannot. Even the most corrupt countries in the world want to do business.

“Each night after the business meetings I would return to the room and start praying again, sometimes reading the Scriptures aloud in prayer. I returned to Middle Eastern countries several times, visiting Saudia Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates with the same mission—to pray from inside the countries for those nations and the people.”

Whether it was Muslims in the Middle East, Hindus in Singapore, or Shintoists in Japan, Fox learned everyone is seeking something they care about to make their life better, whether it is healing, or finances, or family. He would often seek opportunities to open doors by asking people if there was something he could pray for them.

“If you are speaking with a Muslim where it is not illegal, you can ask if they have any prayer needs that they are not getting answered from Allah. They love to see miracles, and our God loves to demonstrate His love for them by making sure the miracle happens. Just pray for them and watch God do what they can’t explain. “

“When you pray,” Vicki writes, “expect something to happen. Expectation is commonly referred to as biblical hope. It works along with faith and love to produce great power. Don’t be moved by the great temptation to quit, waver, or doubt. When I am praying for people, I let the Word of God fight its own fight by speaking the scriptures. His Word never fails.”
